When I first flew the 777 about seven years ago I was totally awestruck by the size of the engines. I flew with Qatar Airways, and in Doha they had a mobile staircase plus a bus, and with business class the entrance was just a few meters ah

By default, certainly. Btw: In February I spent some time looking at the then about 100 committers to Fuchsia/Flutter. Some quite impressive names. I think Fuchsia is a really serious effort in the Chrome team.

In this case the guy drove 25 km/shift for Uber Eats and 37 km/shift for Foodora. My ebike with a Bosch drive unit and a 400 Wh battery gets me a range of about 35-40 km on the maximum assist mode ("Turbo"). Also, the ba
